Czech Republic vs England Betting Tips: Back Sterling to maintain his prolific streak for the Three Lions

The Czech Republic defence will be bracing themselves for a long 90 minutes when England visit the Sinobo Stadium in Friday’s European Championship qualifier.

The Three Lions have scored more goals per group game than any other side so far this campaign, hitting the net 19 times in just four matches.

Responsible for six of those alone, Harry Kane is bet365’s 13/5 (3.60) favourite to open the scoring in Prague and priced at just 8/11 (1.73) to get on target for his fifth successive international.

However, the captain has hardly been doing it all himself, with Raheem Sterling enjoying his most prolific streak in a white shirt and also striking six times in Group A so far.

With eight goals to his name in the last nine matches for Gareth Southgate’s team, the Manchester City attacker offers strong value at 6/5 (2.20) to fire once again.

Meanwhile, Tammy Abraham will be looking to announce himself after rejecting overtures from Nigeria and committing his future to England, and can be backed at 11/10 (2.10) to score on his competitive international debut.

In contrast to their opponents’ abundance of attacking riches, the home team’s hopes for a breakthrough seem to lie mostly on one man’s shoulders.

Patrik Schick - Czech Republic Bulgaria

Patrik Schick has scored four times in four group games so far and is priced at 8/1 (9.00) to break the deadlock, or a generous 5/2 (3.50) to strike anytime.

Fellow striker Michael Krmencik has only scored twice in his last 12 appearances for Jaroslav Silhavy’s men, and is a longer 7/2 (4.50) shot to come up with the goods in high profile circumstances.

Having opened his international account in the 3-0 win over Montenegro last time out, Lukas Masopust is available at 6/1 (7.00) to make it two in two for the Czech Republic.

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
